Jewish Lobby helps Trump attack free speech

The tax code ensures that we subsidize special interest groups, such as the Israel lobby, even as it skirts the ordinary mechanisms of democratic policymaking and accountability. Today, the Anti-Defamation League (ADL), a rightwing Israel advocacy group, has taken the lead in seeking to undermine bedrock American freedoms in support of Israel. The Heritage Foundation’s Project Esther roadmap explicitly describes its goal of having “foreign [‘Hamas Support Network’] leaders and members deported from the US”.

The ADL, which controls total net assets of 200m tax-free dollars, in particular lobbied for policy responses to student activism in both the Biden and Trump administrations. In 2022, the ADL – which regularly conflates antisemitism with criticism of Israel – commended the Biden administration for developing a “national strategy to combat antisemitism”.
 
One thing I notice, the ADL is labeled both left and rightwing depending on who is doing the labelling. However they support different things from each side of the aisle and do not seem to easily fit in either side of that equation.

After Khalil’s detention, the ADL, whose leader, Jonathan Greenblatt, was paid more than $1.2m in 2022, issued a statement on X that reads in part: “We appreciate the Trump Administration’s broad, bold set of efforts to counter campus antisemitism.”

As I said, it depends on what they are advocating for, you and I both have seen them called leftwing activists... just one of us is being honest about it.
They were vocally against DJT during the campaign, for instance...


That article begins with this line:

There has never been, and I hope never again will be, a more dangerous presidential candidate for the Jewish community than Donald Trump.

This article was written by Sharon Nazarian is president of the Younes & Soraya Nazarian Family Foundation and a board member and former senior vice president of the Anti-Defamation League, a leading anti-hate organization founded to stop the defamation of the Jewish people
Or you can listen to the CEO of the organization:

“Here we go again,” Jonathan Greenblatt, the CEO of the Anti-Defamation League, wrote in a statement posted on X that said Trump was right for highlighting the historic spike in antisemitism “but the effect is undermined by then employing numerous antisemitic tropes and anti-Jewish stereotypes — including rampant accusations of dual loyalty.”

And to do it promotes leftist candidates so you can call them "rightwing" when you disagree. You prove my point. The ADL is called either depending on who is criticizing them.

ADL only cares about advancing Jews. Fuck them.
 
The Zionist occupation of Palestine is illegal.
Israel is accused of genocide by the United Nations and is being investigated as a genocidal state by the ICJ.
ICC arrest warrants have been issued for Netanyahu and Gantz for alleged war criminality.
Israel's US-armed forces have killed upwards of 61,000 Palestinians during its attacks upon Gaza.
Israel illegally occupies Lebanese, Syrian and Palestinian territory.
Israel has more UN resolutions against it than all other states combined.
The USA donates billions of dollars annually to this rogue state.
The USA prevents legal action against this rogue state via its 'Security' Council veto.
Ergo- the USA is complicit in its crimes.
By extrapolation, the USA is a genocidal state.
